American Street Dog Association -  (A.S.D.A.)

A.S.D.A. Events: Sign Up Fee:   $100.00 per dog.   Plus $10.00 per Team Registration.

A.S.D.A. PHILOSOPHY
A Street Dog is absolutely no use to you, the owner, if you cannot safely take it with you in public. At an A.S.D.A. Competition, we give you every opportunity to test the training of your dog and your ability to make good decisions and handle your dog safely. We stress obedience and we frown on dogs that make their own decisions regarding protection.

A.S.D.A. FORMAT
We offer two classes of competition: Beginner (Sleeve), Advanced (Suit). You may enter your dog into one class only.

Helpers in the Beginner Class will stop fighting when they give the choke sign.

Helpers in the Advanced Class will be passive until your dog bites; at which time they will begin to fight. Helpers will not stop fighting when they give the choke sign.
